Delhi’s food scene has just gotten butterier and more delicious — Benne Dosa, the South Indian dosa spot that first gained massive popularity in Mumbai for its rich, buttery, and authentically Bangalore-inspired dosas, has now opened doors in the nation’s capital.
A Slice of South India in Delhi
What makes benne dosa stand out is its rich butter flavour, nostalgic appeal, and satisfying crunch, capturing the taste of Karnataka breakfast culture in every bite. After winning hearts in Mumbai — including celebrity visits and long queues — the concept is gaining traction in Delhi’s diverse foodscape.
Benne means butter in Kannada, and true to its name, benne dosa is a South Indian dosa generously cooked with butter, giving it a crisp exterior and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior. This style of dosa, inspired by traditional Karnataka breakfast culture, offers a richer and more indulgent take on the classic South Indian staple most people know.
What’s On The Menu?
Expect a tight, thoughtfully curated menu that focuses on doing a few things really well:
- Signature Benne Dosa — crispy, golden and cooked in generous amounts of butter
- Soft Idlis & Medu Vadas served with classic chutneys and sambar
- Akki Roti for those craving authentic Karnataka flavours
- Mysore Pak for a sweet finish
- Strong South Indian Filter Coffee to complete the experience
Benne’s arrival reflects Delhi’s growing love for regional, authentic food experiences. The café’s no-nonsense approach, nostalgic flavours and comforting plates make it perfect for breakfast runs, weekend brunches or even a quick evening bite.
